Scubadiva: Anyone else suffering from this?
Lately, I've been looking at peoples' profiles who wrote to me and every single one of them looks fake. The latest came from someone who claims to have a masters degree and cannot spell "vice versa" ... so methinks that if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's most likely not an eagle... though it could be a goose.. damn logic
I must say that their writing is getting more sophisticated. They must be reading the forums to get tips on what to say and what not to say or perhaps have taken english classes... but still...
Bottom line..I respond to noone anymore and that defeats the purpose of the site.
At what point do you decide to write back or not write back?

Hi Leni
You know, my first inclination is also to be polite and write back, buuuut... lately every message I get says: "I want to know more about you" (which I do not like as an opening line). Maybe that is what it is...
. You know, the last one I responded to told me in the third mail that he "also owns a business in Ghana" ... and I'm thinking... "@#$%^&*!! "
Bless your heart for being so patient

An "hello dear" does it for me every time.
Also flattery that is O.T.T. and 40 year old men upwards sending me mail.What the heck I'm 71
I never respond to anyone that sends me an email address either.
I always send a smiley back with "not looking",which is actually on my profile.

Oh goodness, yes! "Hello Dear", the email address and statements to the effect that I am Aphrodite reincarnate are instant "DX" buttons.
Funny, I am in the same boat in terms of age. When I get mail from 25-40 year olds, I just shake my head, you know
Not even going to get into the "short guy" thing.. that's a separate thread

I usually respond, just to be sure. Like I will ask them where exactly is Texas, Texas? Actually that is on their profile.
I had one that was Florida, Florida. When I ask, I never get an answer back.
The last guy had black eyes! And Didn't get it, when I said "not on your life" (wanted personal email info). But, nice me, explain what it meant. They need education too, ya know.
They are getting better at their English, but if you read on, you can usually find the red flag

Yes, he's fine. He was very lucky!!. Bottom line was that he had stress with the mother-in-law at home, didn't pay attention and voila. I don't even want to think about the trouble we'd have been in if if he'd gotten hurt or worse. Also lucky there are emergency electricians who show up after hours to fix such messes.
Next time you're in town, the
is on me. Gastfreundschaft, you know

Bless you. Another nice, polite lady. Agree with you, by the way about TX, TX.
Question for ya... why do you bother to explain terminology if they're supposedly americans?

Pierce Brosnan sent me a love letter on here today. I am all a flutter. 
I had no idea that Pierce was 27 years old from India. No biggie. The wedding bells will soon be chiming from Pierce and Kaybee Brosnan.

scubaWhen I get mail I usually call out strike 1, strike 2 etc as I read their mail and look through their profile. I don't want to give away what I look for that gets a strike but I'm sure you know. 6-12 strikes is common. If they get past my strike counter with 2-3 strikes I may answer them with some questions which they should know if they are legit. I usually don't hear back or in rare cases I get a generic response.
I think CS is missing the boat by not utilizing the abundance of scam spotting talent on their site. Maybe not deligate the authority to boot someone but just advise CS who to check out.
